Indiana Jones

I love this movie!!! I have the trilogy at my house and the movies never fail to make me smile.

I think that they started off the movie with Indy as a teenager in order for the audience to understand how his mindset and beliefs have always been the same. Throughout the whole movie, you hear Indy say "that belongs in a museum," and having a scene of him as a teenager puts into prospective that he has had a passion for history for quite some time now. As a teenager, Indy is very passionate, adventurous, and courageous. I love that his character never really changes in this way and that his relationship with his father is clearly stated in that scene where his father is working on his work and pays no attention to Indy and tells him to count to ten in greek.. or latin? I can't remember... but I just love his is transitioned and proved how Indy's search for something is never ending. He will never give up on his quest and that is what drives him throughout the whole movie. He will never give up on the quest to find the grail. His knowledge about history aids him throughout the whole journey and I absolutely love his character!

Small World Parts 4 and 5

I know that I already blogged for part 4 by accident.. but I guess that I'll do it again!

I love the ending of this book. The first thing that came to my mind when the last sentence said, "and he wondered where in the small, narrow world he should begin to look for her" was the tv/computer game, "Where In the World is Carmen San Diego." Persse had traveled all over the globe to be with Angela and she does not turn out to be the woman that he actually wants in the end. He follows her throughout the whole entire book and basically gets no where. Whenever he came close, there was always something stopping him. I thought that it was ironic that he ends up sleeping with Angela's identical twin, Lily and ends up sleeping with him. I just thought that the whole story was very ironic and that the one love that he was searching for actually came from someone else that now, he cannot find. Too bad for Persse.

Small World Part 3

What do you think about Persse chasing Angela around to all of the world-wide conventions?

I thought that this part of the story was a lot like a knight chasing a woman that he will never have. Although she has told him this, he still insists that he is good enough for her and that he deserves her. He gets a credit card, which is a form of money, something that she has a plentiful amount of. This credit card, like in the story of Perceval, is like his own title as a "knight." Now that he has gained something that she has and is attracted to, he thinks that she will somehow change her opinion about him. I thought that it was funny that she followed him to places such as Hawaii, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Jerusalem and he still did not get any of her attention. I thought that it was sad to read Cheryl's to Persse following Angela around, but Persse is blindly in love with the thought of Angela. I think that it is getting a little out of hand...
